Firebird, meet Firefox

The newest release of Mozilla's Firebird is out.

Redubbed Firefox, the new browser totes the tabbed browsing we all know and love, pop-up blocking, an integrated search, and less bugs (not that I ever noticed).

If you're on a PC and your not using a Mozilla product, might I suggest this one. It loads up in no time and is blazingly fast.

For all three of you web developers out there reading this, check out these web developer tools. They allow you to manipulate your coded page's display properties on the fly so you don't need to mess with your browser settings. It is a enormously helpful tool no developer should be without. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like there's a Mac version. One can always wish. [via George]

From an admittedly naive non-web-developer: why should Mac users want Firefox when it sounds more-or-less exactly like Safari? Or am I mis-reading you?

Variety is the spice of life my friend....I've been using the Firefox on my PC at work, and it is invaluable. The developer tools are superfly.

I love Safari, and Firefox has much of the same functionality, but the jury is still out. I mean, what's it all about? Speed, stability and standards. I would be curious to know which Mac browser renders the fastest.

Finally, it's about the update...who's keeping it current...and the Moz team is constantly working.
